Since this is a #HypocrisyFreeZone, and our right wing posters are never hypocritical in any way, I am certain that Franklin Graham delivering that same exact sermon would have caused equal consternation on the right!

1. True.
2. I’m LOLing at the thought of FG delivering a message even remotely as true to the words of Jesus.

Sincere question, then: any particular reason why you continue to grace us all with your presence on a message board that...primarily discusses politics with a heavy dose of religion? If you're so enlightened as to be above it all, what's your purpose for being here?

duh to reassure myself of how enlightened i am.......and it amuses me. any more questions, sir?

Just one. Is there literally nothing else going for you that could replace this as a hobby? Surely someone as enlightened and sophisticated as you should have a myriad of hobbies available to you that would be more fulfilling and satiating than spending so much time reading and posting on a message board where the primary topics are something which you consider beneath you.

I admire the passive aggressiveness. Franklin Graham's prayer was very much inappropriate in the same manner. Not sure how other righties feel about it.

I can get the amusement and you amuse me as well but if you need reassurance about anything, you really don't. You're missing the quality already.

But did Graham cite the actual words of Jesus Christ in his prayer? I don't believe that he did, which makes the comparison a moot point, IMO.
 
My question to our board right wingers is this: If you are fine with Trump offering mercy (pardons) to convicted insurrectionists, domestic terrorists, international drug dealers, and those who viciously assaulted Capitol and DC police officers- which is well within your right to have that view and it's well within his right as POTUS to exercise that power- then why is not okay for a Bishop to deliver a message- using Jesus Christ's very own words- of mercy for non-criminal immigrants and LGBTQ people, as well? The reason I'm hung up on this is because very, very, VERY few things about Trump or Trump-adjacent shock me anymore. Like, truly virtually nothing. This, however, has shocked me- the reaction by right wingers on this board and elsewhere to what should have been an uplifting sermon at best and an innocuous sermon at worst.

Would sincerely love to be educated on this and helped to understand the perspective. I want to spend the next 4 years trying to better understand my fellow countrymen and women of all stripes.

nothing and no one is above me and nothing/no one is beneath me....my perspective is what separates me from the rest of our fucked up society. see you think you are better than the trumpsters whether morally, intellectually, or both. do you really think you are going to change their minds re trump etc? its the same ol pissing contests, not discussions. i ll let you know when a real discussion takes place.

so i retired at 40 and have a lot of interests. i enjoy messageboards....and sacrificing goats to my god. anything else?

WTF? You posted an analysis that was incomplete. You were doing so, presumably, to convince people that the pardon of Ulbrecht was justified. And thus you put your opinions out in public to be tested. It's not my fault you left out that exceedingly important part of the story.

It. is. OK. to. admit. you. were. wrong.
 
Only 48 hours in and Trump's presidency 2.0 is already an unmitigated disaster. We're light years ahead of schedule here, folks. So much for the "unity" crap he was spewing on Monday. What a f'ing mess.

to be fair, i think that was zen, not rouser. but your overall point still stands.

Yep and I said it was inappropriate, because of the power differential, for the federal government to "ask" a private business to remove posts.

I still believe that's true.

Oh, heavens no, I don't think I'm better than anyone. I've got my own flaws, faults, mistakes, sins, etc. just like anyone, and perhaps more than most- "Trumpsters" included. (Side question- since I voted for Trump in 2016, do I have to look down on myself?). I don't think more or less of anyone based on how they vote- I think more or less of people based on how they act and how they treat others. I know plenty of people who voted for Trump who I vehemently disagree with politically but whose actions and treatment of others I find commendable or admirable- kind of the whole "love the sinner, hate the sin" deal except it's "hate the politics (or at least the vote), love the person."

I don't think I'm going to change anyone's mind here or anywhere else, and even if I had the ability, it isn't my aim. My aim here is to further educate, learn, and better myself. I've learned tons on and from this board through the years- from people with whom I vehemently agree and disagree, alike. If you aren't able to do that here, that's your problem, not the problem of any other poster(s).

Congrats on the early retirement, by the way. I sincerely hope you are able to find more fulfilling, more service-oriented, or hell, just plain more fun things to do with your team than read a message board comprised of people you don't like talking about topics you disdain. Life's too short, man!

The Bishop CAN speak to the President about her opinions but others have the right to criticize her. Never said Trump was King and not subject to criticism. I'm expressing my opinion that her sermon was not effective for the point she was trying to get across and not appropriate given the ceremonial setting.

You, and others, disagree. So be it.

It was effective or we would not hear anything about it from the magas.

There was a contested Republican primary with numerous conservative candidates running against him. He won. Trump wasn't handed the nomination unlike Kamala.

That's sad that you actually choose this clown. Though we all know it wasn't really contested. More ceremonial.
 
Ramrouser said:
Don't know what you're talking about. I've never expressed any anti gay opinions at any point in my discussions on this Board. I'm pro gay marriage and have a libertarian viewpoint on the vast majority of LGBTQ issues.

See this is puzzling, how can you have such beliefs and so clearly vote for a party that is against these things?

Additionally I believe you have made multiple comments about woke culture. From what I gather the rights included pro LBGTQ as woke culture. How do you reconcile that?

I'm actively pro LBGTQ. Equal rights for everyone.

in light of the absolute avalanche of godawful and illegal behavior that the GOP is currently engaged in i think that's a pretty laughable thing to focus on, but you do you.

Can't speak for everyone, but I don't see myself as better than anyone.

If you enjoy message boards doesn't that include the pissing contests as the are a standard part of message boards.
